Glad to see at least one Singaporean from this forum came out of comfort zone to learn something new and change slightly their opinion about Opposition.
I consider this good result of my copy and paste efforts to create awareness.

Fearmongering by MM Lee
Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew has warned Singaporeans, especially those in Aljunied GRC, they will "pay a price, the hard way" if they vote for the Opposition.
Speaking to reporters during a visit to Tampines on Friday night, MM Lee said, "If Aljunied decides to go that way, well Aljunied has five years to live and repent."
The 87-year-old warned voters they would have to live with the choice they make come Polling Day on Saturday.
"It may well happen that they win, in which case the people of Aljunied live with the results," he was quoted as saying on The Straits Times.
"The only way people learn is when they have to pay a price. From time to time we may lose, and the voters pay the price, " he said.
He further cautioned, "If Singaporeans are that fickle, they will have to pay a price, the hard way."
He highlighted the example of opposition-held ward Hougang where, "If you have the wrong government, your property prices go right down. Ask why in Hougang the property is not as high as their neighbours."
The high-powered 'A' team from the Workers's Party contesting the Aljunied hotspot consists of former Hougang MP Low Thia Khiang, former NCMP Sylvia Lim, the party's "star catch" Chen Show Mao as well as family counsellor Muhamad Faisal Abdul Manap and post-graduate law student Pritam Singh.
They will be up against the incumbent PAP team fronted by Foreign Affairs Minister George Yeo, Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Lim Hwee Hua, Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Zainul Abidin Rasheed, Madam Cynthia Phua and new face Ong Ye Kung, an assistant secretary-general of NTUC .
MM Lee also urged Aljunied voters to look at the track record of the different candidates.
"Do you want a capable team that can look after your interests, or do you want a team with little track record?" he said.
"At the end of the day, if you are in Aljunied, ask yourself: Do you want one MP, one Non-Constituency MP, one celebrity who has been away 30 years, and two unknowns to look after you?"
Or, he asked if voters would prefer two ministers, one potential Parliament Secretary, one potential Speaker of Parliament and one grassroots MP?
Cautioning voters against "trying their luck" when the value of their property and livelihood was on the line, MM Lee said, "Just think. Five years, they're in charge of your property and your lives... If you like to try your luck, well good luck to you. But I guarantee you, you will not do better than the PAP candidates."
MM Lee, whose own Tanjong Pagar GRC went uncontested, went on to question the WP slogan of "Towards A First World Parliament."
"Do you want a first world government or you want a first world opposition?" he asked.
"And is this a first world opposition? Can they compare themselves to the senators in the US congress?... If you want a third world or even a second world opposition to come and create a bit of excitement, well that's your choice," he said.
"But I do not consider them a first world opposition. I do not want to degrade them but you just look at their track record."

Eric Low calling Hougang a slum
People's Action Party's (PAP) former candidate Eric Low fired the first salvo at the Workers' Party (WP) in the battle for the single-member constituency (SMC) of Hougang.
Low was one of the ten guest speakers at a rally on Saturday evening in support of the party's candidate Desmond Choo, 33, who will be contesting in the ward. Choo will be going up against WP's candidate, 34-year-old businessman Yaw Shin Leong.
Rebutting WP's chief Low Thia Khiang statements that the ward is not a slum, Low said that it is the contrary.
"My answer to Mr Low Thia Khiang is yes, it (Hougang) has become a slum. The word slum means downgrading," he said to slight cheers from the 1,000-strong crowd.
Low also made a comparison of the HDB flats of Block 1 and 2 to the ones in Block 20 and 21, saying that if residents could not see the difference, then "we are blind".
"Let me share with you that for the last 20 years, your home, residents of Hougang, has been downgraded because of the poor maintenance and upkeep.
"I have been here for the last 12 years and I know it, because you complain to me that certain rubbish stays for days before they are cleared outside your house. Is that not true?" he questioned.
Adding that he had also received complaints that the car parks in the constituency are poorly maintained, Low advised residents in the ward to "make a wise move" come Polling Day, saying that "the time has come for the change".
He also sent a warning message to voters of Aljunied GRC.
"Before you vote, please take a walk in Hougang SMC and you will see the difference between what you are having now — maintained by the PAP town council — and then you may want to vote wisely," he said.
In the last two elections, PAP's Low, 62, suffered defeat at the hands of WP's Low Thia Khiang, who this time has decided to contest Aljunied GRC.
In January this year, Eric Low revealed his decision not to stand in the coming general election, citing age as the main factor. He added that a younger candidate would be better able to serve residents and has more time oversee longer-term projects in the constituency.
In addition, two other guest speakers, Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean and former Member of Parliament (MP) Yatiman Yusof also took aim at the WP.
At the starting point of his speech, DPM Teo took a swipe at WP Low's analogy of his party being a co-driver, saying that the idea "does not work".
"So you know that if you have two drivers quarreling with each other to drive the same bus or the same lorry, sooner rather than later, you're going to have a big problem... And a big road accident and a crash, (it) doesn't work," he said.
Former MP for Tampines GRC Yatiman Yusof questioned WP's vision of a first world parliament. (Yahoo! photo/ …
On the other hand, former Tampines GRC MP Yatiman Yusof — who stepped down after the last general election in 2006 — questioned whether WP's vision of a First World Parliament is applicable in Singapore's context.
"When you talk about First-Class World Parliament, I'm a bit puzzled. Is this concept something that is uniquely applicable, usable and beneficial to Singaporeans? We are not sure yet," he said
Yatiman reasoned that the idea is not applicable due to Singapore's unique position as a "global city" and its policy of multi-culturalism, adding that the country is susceptible to changing global trends.
"And for a very unique country, we need a very unique system which the PAP had evolved over the past 40 years. This is the system that has led Singapore to grow and grow, to prosper and prosper."
Echoing Eric Low's views that for twenty years Hougang had been "relegated, downgraded", Yatiman also called on voters to scrutinise the WP's goal.
"It is not easy to copy a first-class or first-world parliament system. When the Workers' Party talk about this, I'm not sure what they are talking about," he said.
"But what I'm very sure is that in their mind, they have Australia, United States, Europe, UK and many other developed countries that practiced parliamentary democracy. But I want to tell you there is no single brand, single-type of democracy, parliamentary democracy that can be practiced, that can be copied and applied successfully."
